National Work and Family Month
October 2017

October is National Work and Family Month! The balance between the two is one of the core values of LeaveLogic so we’ll be celebrating all month with stories, tips, and resources (plus a little extra family time to tip that scale to the right). How are you celebrating?

Follow us on Social Media for tips, stories and resources to help achieve that ideal balance.

Meet Anna Steffeney, the founder of LeaveLogic. LeaveLogic is a technology company that delivers a family leave management platform to Fortune 1000 companies.

Anna will share her startup story and process for product development. She will then lead the audience in an interactive discussion on how to test their ideas, identify a target market, and quickly size their revenue opportunity, using LeaveLogic as an example of the product development cycle.

Just ahead of New York’s paid leave law, IBI and LeaveLogic are bringing together employers across many industries to discuss the perceived impact of these new regulations.

This half-day workshop will feature several leading employers, including Nestle, Comcast/NBC Universal and Uncommongoods, who will share how their organizations are navigating the upcoming changes from strategic use of analytics to restructuring existing policies.

Co-moderated by Dr. Brian Gifford, Research Director of IBI, and Anna Steffeney, CEO and Founder of LeaveLogic, this event will address best practices in leave management and explore what these regulatory changes mean for employers.

The United States remains the only developed country without a paid leave policy, which has inspired individual companies to take the initiative to expand benefits for their employees who are becoming new parents. In the last few years, we have seen employers from many industries throughout the country come forward to provide and/or expand parental leave at their organizations. Several high profile employers boosted the amount of paid time off and many granted the same benefits to both parents. This marketplace shift to more inclusive paid parental leave benefits continues to grow. This session will examine a variety of paid parental leave policy business cases. The employer panel will present discussions and design considerations that have taken place within their companies around instituting a paid parental leave program. Come join us for a lively discussion about how these employers right-sized their policy, programs, and employee experience on this important topic.

Join us on May 23 for 100% Talent’s Wage Gap Summit, a conference that will bring local employers and professionals together to examine the gender wage gap in our region. Hear from local leaders and national experts on how the gender wage gap affects our industries and regional competitiveness, and the actionable solutions that 100% Talent members and others are using to successfully tackle this issue.

LeaveLogic CEO and Founder, Anna Steffeney, will be speaking on the topic of talent in the session titled “Best Practices for Engaging Your Talent.”

The United States is at a crossroads in considering whether and how the nation can ensure working people have access to paid family and medical leave and access to paid sick days. The drumbeat for change — both through private sector initiatives and public policy developments — is unmistakable. There is a growing, common understanding that current policies and practices are not meeting working families’ needs, an emerging sense that national level public policies are needed to fill the void, and an evolving and powerful body of evidence that paid leave works well where laws are in place. To kick off the conference, we’ll provide a snapshot of recent developments and a framework for considering the proposals that lawmakers have put forward. We will touch on evidence that dispels myths about paid leave and shows that paid leave programs benefit America’s employers, their workers and families, and the overall economy. And we’ll address the reputational and talent attraction benefits employers can realize from adopting family-forward policies.

LeaveLogic CEO and Founder, Anna Steffeney, will join a panel of female entrepreneurs to discuss excelling as women in leadership. This is event will also be an opportunity to hear from a network with other local women to form a community that fosters empowering women in the workplace.

Our region has systematically struggled with issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion—especially in the flourishing entrepreneurial community that we have established over the past few years. In an attempt to continue combating this disparity, CoMotion Labs has partnered with other Puget Sound based organizations for an event on nurturing leadership as part of “Spring Forward with Women Leaders.” Our panel on April 6 will highlight the opportunities and challenges for women in leadership in technical/STEM-based fields, entrepreneurship, and investing. We will have networking for the first and last 30 minutes with a 1-hour panel discussion in between.

LeaveLogic Plenary Session Title “There is More to Family Leave than Just Policy”
Date: Tuesday, March 28
Time: 8:30am
Location: Grand Ballroom of the Westin St. Francis Hotel

The objective of the session is to lay out corner stone business cases behind paid family leave policies. The presentation will leverage industry benchmarks and the most recent analysis to discuss this possible shift of the market place to provide more inclusive paid family leave benefits and share best practices for solution road mapping paid family leave programs. This session will aim to frame a spectrum of strategies to help employers right size their policy, programs and employee experiences and highlight the importance of a federal policy passage to drive certainty and standardization of benefit coordination in the marketplace as well as how to provide a path to move family leave from a compliance issue to a talent management strategy.
